I had added such printks already. In the logs I've posted you will find lines
containing "DAC-11->base.crtc <=".
In fact the encoder is not active: intel_sdvo_get_hw_state() returns false.
Thus it doesn't have a crtc:
[    3.703241] [drm:intel_modeset_setup_hw_state], 2: DAC-11->base.crtc <=     
     (null)
Still it has active outputs: intel_sdvo_get_active_outputs() returns 2.
What I seem to have found out now:
When an encoder is disabled (bit 31 of GEN3_SDVOx is 0) then it must not have
active outputs or SDVO_CMD_GET_ATTACHED_DISPLAYS will not return a result (it
will remain in pending state).
